Abstract

This book, contains an analysis of five primary Soviet production units: the factory, the machine and tractor station, the state farm (sovkhoz), the collective farm (kolkhoz), and the urban producer's cooperative. The author discusses in detail the factory as an example of a state enterprise and the kolkhoz as a cooperative enterprise. Treatment of the other institutions is confined to those features that differ from the factory or kolkhoz. These institutions are discussed not as part of the economic process, but in terms of the social and power relationships involved, i.e., the government and Party control apparatus, and the status of each social stratum involved—the intelligensia, workers, and peasants.
